There was something in his eyes that wasn’t there before. Some burning desire, some rage. She glanced at the computer screen; Golem's notebook sat on a tiny shelf that was nailed to a tree stump lopped off a foot and a half above the level of the porch. He was sitting in a plastic chair — he preferred the wood ones, but this resort had a shortage of 'real' chairs, as he would say — pounding away at the keyboard. He would stop in a moment as he always did when she sat in the chair to the right of him. She knew he didn’t like to write with her sitting over his shoulder. This time, as she glanced at the screen she saw the name Charles...
The police had come around asking questions about the girls in the bathroom and, for now, Golem kept a vigil of silence on the issue of Charlie, but he had his own suspicions. They didn’t suspect Golem at all, and to him that was a big relief. Someone could have seen him go to the shower stalls that night. That would be all it took to focus their attention on him, but apparently he had made his way back to the hut without being seen.
